I have a number of photographs, some taken on the 21st May, 1879, in my own collection. If you need any just e-mail me and I'll forward them to you as jpegs.

I would also be VERY interested in seeing thoes photo's! I have never seen any after the battle photo's of Isandlwana. Its a shame that a photographer could not have taken a photo-essay of the battlefield similar to the "Brady" photo's taken at Gettysburg after the 1863 Battle. If you have ever seen these, you could imagine what Isandlwana might have looked like, only the bodies being in far worse condition.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
